Bitter Freedom: Ireland in a Revolutionary World

More about the book

Focusing on the Irish Revolution, this book challenges the narrow Anglo-Irish perspectives often associated with the struggle for independence. By situating revolutionary Ireland within the broader context of post-World War I nationalist movements, Maurice Walsh offers a fresh and nuanced understanding of this pivotal period. His narrative, enriched by a novelist's keen attention to the human experience, reveals the complexities and realities faced during the fight for freedom and its aftermath.
